My main piece of advice(coming from my experience) would be to do what you want and don’t worry about money too much(for now). But don’t get yourself into a ton of debt to get where you want to go. I did and now that I have a different idea of what I want to do I can’t really go for it 100% because I have to keep my job that pays me well. I’d much rather make a lot less and have no debt… that way I’d be free to switch directions whenever I wanted to.

Freedom and pursuing what you love is worth a lot more than money. Even if you don’t actually ever make it there.

Matty – I’d say my overall goal is to be happy, with myself and my life, which sometimes is much easier said than done. And there are so many things in life that brings me happiness and joy, so I guess the ultimate goal is to try to remember all those little things, even when times are bad, and try to spread and share them with the people in my life.

Hey Orsii, it’s good that you’re getting all this out. Go for all your dreams… there’s always normal jobs/opportunities around if things fail.
But what is your goal?

Hey There!

Somehow I rolled up on your blog as well as your twitter account and I have been following ya for awhile. This latest post tugged at my heartstrings.

“no matter how shit or amazing life is, the majority of us seem to go to bed at night wishing we have done things differently, whilst a very little group of us go to bed being thankful for having the courage to follow our heart.”

I have recently experienced a very shameful event in my life and with all the courage I can muster I am moving forward. I too was told to come back home by my mom (NJ is home, I currently live in LA). But something internally knows that retreating is not the answer. i must stay and fight and unveil the dream within.

I could get into so much more and at some point I probably will but meanwhile, thank you for writing and sharing this tender piece.

Stay free and let the music reign!

Hejsan =) Orsi, alla som känner dig vet att de val du gör i livet är vad som känns rätt för dig, och det är just precis ditt hjärta )med lite hjärna) som du alltid borde följa. Vi vet allihopa hur långt du kommer att gå och hur lycklig do kommer att vara när du når dit =) Vi ses när jag kommer tillbaka från Singapore. Tills dess så skickar jag så mycket kärlek jag kan åt ditt håll =) Puss

I agree to a certain extent. I mean, yes if you have a lot of money or all the contacts you need in order to follow your dreams, then of course you are going to get there quicker and/or easier.

However, Id say it is more about a balance between having the courage to dream but being realistic.

At the moment, I feel like the journey of actually achieving my dreams and goals are worth more and is teaching me more about myself and life than the actual goal. But that might of course be because of the fact that I havent actually reached my end goal yet.

But then again, do we ever? Or do they just change/change shapes with time?

Call me crazy / simplistic but I think it’s about striking a balance. Only those with unlimited resources can chase their dreams to the fullest extent. I think if you’d look at the majority of successful people you’d find they had a hell of a step up in life – especially those that make it at an early age…

So the average normal person has to do something to be able to support themselves before they finally get that big break. It’s knackering. And often it’s hard to keep your dreams in mind…. But I think (possibly naievely) that if you work hard enough at it, you get there eventually.

Sorry if this is badly written. I’m on my phone. Hope you get my point…! :)
